Jack's work truck

1966 GMC Truck 3/4 ton

This old farm truck has an interesting history too.

Having only a limited budget, a chance to obtain a truck to do all of the hauling of equipment, dirt and stone, was a wonderful adventure.  Before buying the truck, Jack had used his personal car, a 1997 Kia, four-door, to carry his lawnmower and other tools. 
 
It was when he bought a wheel barrel and entered the "second phase" of his projects, filling in the sunken graves and post temporary headstones, that he realized his car that had close to 298,000 miles on it was too small.
